The collection of British drawings and watercolours in the Ashmolean
is one of the largest and most important in the world. Great British
Drawings shows more than one hundred works by some of the country’s
greatest artists, to trace the history of drawing in Britain. Many of
the drawings are shown for the first time in public.

The collection in the Ashmolean ranges widely, from
Flemish artists working in Britain in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, to the experiments in modernism instigated on the Continent
and enthusiastically taken up by the British after the First World War.
